At Contemporary design, we will help you create a plan and a design that reflects your needs and respects your budget, so that your new kitchen, bathroom or home improvement project is exactly what you want for exactly how much you want to spend. How do we bid? We prefer to "negotiate" contracts with owners. We provide cost consultation once we are the preferred contractor for the job, rather than offer bids on speculation. Detailed estimating can take many hours. We spend time evaluating and discussing the project with you, so that once we submit our bid, you can be sure that we've submitted a well thought out proposal. We work with owners from the very beginning of a project. On large projects, we work very closely with your architect or designer as well. After an initial telephone conversation, an appointment is made to view the project. At that meeting, which is free of charge, we have a thorough discussion about the full scope of work and the time frame to decide if the project would be mutually beneficial. If it is decided that we should go ahead, we will then begin the pre-construction process and pre-construction services. Contemporary Design will provide pre-construction services during the design stage of a project; this includes design, estimates and schedules, suggestions on materials, construction detail consultation and more.

Much of our work is a "fixed price," meaning that we negotiate a fixed contract amount with the client before starting a job. Our focus is on helping our clients get the best value, not necessarily the lowest price. As we learn your priorities, we fine-tune our recommendations regarding subcontractors, materials, and methods to help you and your designers realize the greatest satisfaction for their budget. While we may not suggest the lowest initial budget, we are confident that we provide excellent value in the long run. Our focus is to meet your goals within your budget. How do we organize and supervise the work? We sometimes subcontract our specialized work, such as plumbing, electrical, heating, drywall, tile, etc. This saves our clients time and money, since we could...
